Deficiency judgments are allowed in Pennsylvania if the mortgage company files a separate lawsuit against the borrowers after the original foreclosure auction.

If the mortgagee (usually the foreclosing bank) purchases the property at the auction, the amount of any deficiency judgment is limited by the fair market value of the property.

When a lender forecloses on a mortgage, the total debt owed by the borrower to the lender frequently exceeds the foreclosuresale price. The difference between the sale price and the total debt is called a "deficiency."

Example. Say the total debt owed is $200,000, but the home only sells for $150,000 at the foreclosure sale. The deficiency is $50,000.
